Elena's head rested on Kyle's body as he refused to let go of her until her phone began to ring. She quickly moved away from his body and because of how she jerked, Kyle instinctively let go of her.She took her phone and stared at the screen, seeing that her son was the one calling. The name showed "Cutie." Kyle stared at her with a curious expression, wondering who it was.She knew that if she did not answer the call, it would look suspicious. Kyle would start investigating and might figure out George's identity. So, she quickly answered the call and said, "I'm already at home, Granny. I will be there soon."Afterward, she ended the call. "You stored your granny as 'Cutie'? Why?" he asked. "Is there anything wrong with it?" she asked back. "No," Kyle replied. "I need to go now," Elena said to him. "My granny is worried. Knowing that he could no longer stop her, Kyle held Elena's cheeks and kissed her.She did not try fighting or pushing him away."Goodnight, darling. See you t
Elena spent the day with her son, George, playing and laughing. And when it was time for her meeting with Kyle, she got dressed and left the house.She arrived at the Souls' bar he had mentioned and looked around for him, but she couldn't find him.She stood for a while, thinking that he had not arrived, and trying to search for a place to sit down. But suddenly, she saw someone who looked like him up on the stage with a few men who were performing.She stood in surprise, staring at him, wondering why he was up p there. At this point, she realized that Kyle knew she had arrived because when her eyes met with his, he smiled. She was about to ask him why he was up there when he had told her to come because he had something to say.But at this point, he took the mic from one of the people in the band, and they began to accompany him with an instrumental while he sang.Elena could not believe her eyes. She looked behind her and back at him. While he sang, his eyes kept pointing toward he
After Elena spoke, she turned and walked away, while Kyle just stood, staring at her with a sad expression on his face. After she got into her car and drove off, he also left in his car. Those who had been following their actions from inside the bar, up until outside, felt sorry for him. Despite everything he did, Elena still rejected him.When Elena went back home, she seemed unhappy, and her granny noticed it. "What happened?" she asked. Elena sighed, "Mr. Jones is involved." Confused, her Granny asked, "Mr. Jones? What about him?" Elena began to tell her granny about what Mr. Jones had done during the party last night—how he had tried to sabotage and humiliate her in front of everyone—and how Kyle had come to her rescue."What? I can't believe someone I trusted so much could do something so despicable," her granny said. "You know, before now, I planned to let him take over for the next two years until you gained the experience you needed from working at Elen Global. But then si
Mr. Jones left the office and called Mr. Ben to meet with him during lunch. He told him, "That brat Anna now has dirt on me, so I can't do anything.""What exactly does she have against you?" Ben asked."It doesn't matter, all you need to know is that if the world got to see it, I'll be completely ruined," Jones replied. "As a matter of fact, I'll spend the rest of my life in jail.""Really? That's quite serious," Ben said. "So, the ball is in your court now. I can't lift a finger against her. I was too sloppy. I should have ensured that I got rid of the footage in that hotel. I'm sure that's how she was able to figure out that I was the one who spiked her drink," Jones confessed."Don't worry, we're in this fight together. I'll deal with her on our behalf," Mr. Ben assured. "Your methods were too childish.""My methods were childish?" Jones scoffed. "As if we did not work on it together.""That's not what I mean," Ben clarified. "What I mean is that what I'm going to do to her will
Elena and Natalie made their way to her hotel room, and when they got in, Elena placed her luggage on the bed and began to unpack. She looked around the room and said, "Wow! This is nice, Natalie." Nathalie smiled, "I'm still in shock, Elena. It's as though my dead best friend just came back to life," as she spoke, her eyes brimmed with tears. "Don't cry, please," Elena replied. "I'm very sorry that back then, I left the way I did. I should have..." "No, Elena, it wasn't your fault," Natalie said. "Come and sit down and tell me what has been happening to you." Elena began to narrate everything that she went through and how she survived. She left out the part about her son because she did not want anything that would make Kyle find out about him. As she spoke, Natalie stared at her in surprise and finally said, "You're really fortunate, Elena. Back then, we were hoping that you would find a way to further your education and move to the city, and it finally happened." Elena nodde
Kyle sat in his room, fuming. He was very upset about the way Elena had treated him and the fact that she was trusting Natalie. How could she be so stupid? Someone she hadn't seen in six years, and she just followed her to her room. What if Natalie wanted to hurt her? No matter what, he didn't believe that people could change so easily. Natalie had been a bad friend back then, backstabbing Elena. He regretted not telling Elena what Natalie had confessed back then. If he had, Elena would have been more wary of Natalie now. Perhaps if it were a different friend, he wouldn't mind. While he was still thinking about what to do about the unexpected situation with Elena, he received a text from her. The text read that she wanted to see him in the garden to tell him something nice. He smiled, thinking that perhaps she regretted her actions and wanted to apologize. He quickly changed his clothes and applied perfume to his body since he had not taken a bath since they arrived. Afterward, he
"Yes, I am speaking to you," Elena said, folding her arms."However, the woman who was earlier screaming at the top of her voice couldn't say anything in reply. She kept staring at Elena and back at the door, not able to understand what had happened. From what she had been told, Elena ought to have been inside, and the man she had been claiming was her husband was expected to have been inside as well. But how come Elena was outside?"Go on. I am asking you a question," Elena's voice rang louder.""Cat got your tongue? Have I met you before, or have you met me before? What gives you the right to call my name and accuse me of sleeping with your husband? Go on, I'm listening. What proof do you have that I'm having an affair with your husband? Who is your husband, to begin with? Where is he? Let him come out."Kyle concurred, "Yes. You claimed Miss Anna is with your husband, isn't it? Well, open the door and let him come out!"The woman became gripped with fear and did not know what to sa
After going back to Natalie's room, Elena sat on the bed, thinking about everything that had happened. Natalie asked, "Were you able to find out who tried to frame you?" Elena shook her head, "No, I wasn't able to find out the culprit. But I wonder who it could be."Natalie was surprised because she had thought she was the only one who was out to destroy Elena. The fact that there was someone else made her feel uncomfortable. She didn't like the fact that they had gotten caught or that their plan wasn't successful. She knew how much Elena would have been humiliated if the plan did not fall through. She wished she could meet them. Perhaps if they could work together, it would be easier to teach Elena the lesson she wanted and make Kyle give up on her.Back in his room, Kyle called one of the officers who had arrested the woman and asked, "Have you been able to find out who she's working for?" The officer replied, "No, she has still refused to speak. She keeps claiming that someone
